Wednesday (uh Thursday) Preview
Well I didn’t get the Wednesday Preview done by Wednesday, so now this week it is on Thursday. So let’s do the preview.
Games to Watch
Trine (Indiana) Thunder vs. Defiance (Ohio) Yellowjackets
Mike and Mike’s Small College Game of the Week
The Clash of Mother Nature’s Wrath
This might be an interesting game to tune in to, although, I don’t know if it’s on TV somewhere. Someone else thinks that Trine will win the game. It seems that they have the better record, maybe the better team. They’ve already won one game 41-13.
Georgia vs. Arizona State
Much of the intrigue left when UNLV upset the Sun Devils in Tempe. Was Arizona State looking past the 
Running Rebels? Maybe. Georgia’s sloppy performance at South Carolina may have also been due to the ‘Dawgs looking past the Gamecocks to this week. I think both teams will show up for national TV. I also think Georgia’s defense will smother the Sun Devils.
LSU vs. Auburn
This one is the one ESPN has decided to go with on Saturday night. It looks like a good fit, but if you like to see the ball get flung around and wide open offenses, then you better watch Oregon vs. Boise State. Both defenses look like they are among the top 10 best. If you like a defensive “slug fest,” well you might want to order a pizza.
Boise State vs. Oregon
Boise still has a good program, and with Oregon being a little vulnerable at the QB spot, this could have upset written on it. Boise has shown the kind of play over the past couple of years that makes it a difficult team to put away. Oregon’s offense shouldn’t be quite as effective with a backup QB, but they should run the “zone read” almost to perfection.
Troy vs. Ohio State
I admit it, I want to see how this game turns out. I think Troy may be the class of the Sun Belt this year, and they have impressive wins over teams that are about 
the same level of competition as Ohio State. However, the Men of Troy never struggled. Ohio State lost more than a game last week, they lost any credibility they had left for being a top level team. How is the team’s psyche? I think that this group of Trojans from Troy (Alabama) is a very dangerous team for Ohio State to play after the embarrassment they suffered to USC last week. Things get real interesting in Buckeye-land if Terrelle Pryor starts and plays most of the game.
